Military medicine has a long history of humanitarian efforts globally, including responses to natural disasters and as planned medical civil action projects. However, ending two decades of war in Afghanistan, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) was tasked to receive up to 63 injured patients with less than 96-hour notice on August 27, 2021. As part of Operation Allies Refuge and transition to Operation Allies Welcome, this article highlights the complicated cross-organizational and multidisciplinary response at WRNMMC where ultimately 277 Afghan patients and nonmedical attendants received medical care and other requirements for resettlement. Lessons learned from coordinating the complex short suspense medical, cultural, and logistic efforts are noted as considerations and practical recommendations for future missions.
军事医学在全球范围内有着悠久的人道主义努力历史，包括对自然灾害的应对以及作为有计划的军事民事行动项目。然而，随着阿富汗长达二十年战争的结束，2021年8月27日，沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心（WRNMMC）接到任务，要在不到96小时的通知时间内接收多达63名受伤患者。作为“盟友避难行动”以及向“盟友欢迎行动”过渡的一部分，本文重点介绍了WRNMMC复杂的跨组织和多学科应对措施，最终有277名阿富汗患者和非医疗陪同人员得到了医疗护理以及重新安置所需的其他帮助。文中记录了从协调复杂的短期紧急医疗、文化和后勤工作中吸取的经验教训，作为对未来任务的考量和实际建议。
